Big imagination.
Little squares.
Pick a color. Tap a square. Make a creature, a pattern, or something nobody has ever seen. Your canvas is a 12 × 12 grid of possibilities.
Tap any square to paint. Use arrow keys to move between pixels.

Your creative toolkit
A mirror makes a matching pixel on the opposite side. That’s symmetry!
Paint with coordinates
A coordinate is a pixel’s address: column (x), then row (y). We count from 0 at the top-left, just like many programs do.
See your picture as data
Each number is a palette color. Each line is one row of your picture. Computers can store images as grids of values like these.
Try a mini mission: draw a robot with matching eyes, make a checkerboard, or use only three colors. Paint at least 6 squares to collect your Pixel Maker discovery.
